Praised for her “vocal power”, “youthful allure”, and “clear, piercing, coloratura virtuosity”, Opera Caledonia is delighted to welcome American soprano Kira Kaplan to Edinburgh to perform alongside Derek Clark, Scottish Opera’s celebrated former Head of Music.
Together they will present “Shades of Night”, a programme of song exploring themes of dusk, night and dawn; as night turns to morning. With music from composers including Richard Strauss and Franz Schubert to Florence Price and Benjamin Britten, “Shades of Night” will be a glorious celebration of highlights from the soprano repertoire, set amidst the Victorian splendour of the Edinburgh Society of Musicians.
As a Young Artist at the prestigious National Opera Studio, Kira Kaplan worked closely with and performed at Welsh National Opera, Opera North, Scottish Opera, Glyndebourne, The Royal Opera House and English National Opera before joining Scottish Opera as an Emerging Artist in 2024. Kira has featured in lead roles in Scottish Opera’s productions of Albert Herring, Don Pasquale, Trial by Jury and A Matter of Misconduct and continues her collaboration with the company in their upcoming season, appearing as Musetta in La bohème and both Barbarina and Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro. Competition successes for Kira include three consecutive Region Finalist and District Winner wins at the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Council Auditions. Kira made her Wigmore Hall debut in January 2024.
